Which of these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?

52% Answer Correctly

store vitamins

produce blood cells

store minerals

protect bodily organs


Solution

Hard bones provide primary support for the endoskeleton while more flexible cartilage is found at the end of all bones, at the joints, and in the nose and ears. In addition to providing support and protecting bodily organs, bones also produce blood cells and store minerals like calcium.


5

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

63% Answer Correctly

thermosphere

troposphere

stratosphere

mesosphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
